Hermanonkimaa & Numminen




We were today driving close to the epicentre of yesterday's earthquake (60.569°N, 25.296°E). But instead of looking for sights like visibly fractured buildings (as if there even were any), we were after something else - airplanes parked on ice! Too bad the KILA Winter day event was already held yesterday, but at least a few planes were still parked.

Another nice finding was the "village shop" (kyläkauppa) at Numminen. An authentic site, and quite a rarity nowadays! I bought some excellent rye bread which was from Mäntsälä's local bakery Lähimmäinen.

(Ps. Referring to the road image in my previous post, it was intended for illustration only - the fractured lines on the asphalt are very likely caused by frost.)
